Good Visits

 

Tom came over from Portland last weekend and immediately got to work on a project-

lucky us!

 

 

He and Toby spent hours mucking out the little streams that weave their sluggish way down to the lake.  After cleaning out the debris near the log at the entrance to the lake, the water started flowing fast and began to drain some of the wetlands below our house.

 

 

 

Then Tom saw a possible nifty picnic site for us all a little to the north of where we now swim.  We spent some time clearing the area and Tom lopped off some of the low limbs of a lovely, large white pine there.  This might possibly be a new place for our dock next summer!

 

 

 

Love this old, woodpecker-pecked tree standing there.

 

 

 

An old friend of Toby's, Susan Bombieri, came a day later for a visit. We had fun roaming through the Remick Museum in Tamworth.  Dr. Remick was Toby's childhood doctor and Susan, a Remick relative, spotted her mother's name in the family tree.
